St Ambrose's Church is a Church of England parish church in Whitehall, Bristol, overlooking St George Park. Built in 1912–13 to designs by the Bristol architects W. V. and A. R. Gough, it is a large Perpendicular Gothic Revival church of red Pennant stone with Arts and Crafts detailing, and is sometimes described as the "Cathedral of East Bristol". The church originated as a mission district formed in 1904 from parts of neighbouring parishes, and developed around an earlier hall opened in 1905 on the site west of the present church. The church is a Grade II listed building. The former church hall was refurbished in the late 1990s and turned into the Beehive Centre, a day facility associated with a new almshouse on the site of the former vicarage, administered by the Bristol & Anchor Almshouse Charity. Since 2012 the parish has been united with that of St Leonard's, Redfield (now St Marina Coptic Church), and the parish is formally titled St Ambrose with St Leonard.
